Fundraiser 2016 Highlights (Part 2)

As we celebrate this Eid with our loved ones, we ask that you remember those who were injured or killed in the twin bombings in the northwestern Pakistani city of Parachinar. The incident occurred just hours before iftar time on the last Friday of the holy month of Ramadhan. This is the third major attack to hit Parachinar just this year. With the death toll having reached at over 100 and with over 300 people wounded, Parachinar needs your help.

We send our prayers to the affected families and request your help in providing immediate relief and financial assistance, during these critical hours of need, for the orphaned children and victims’ families. We will be sending all funds collected through your fitrah donations to Parachinar. You may also donate directly to the campaign using donate button below.

With our prayers reaching out to the affected families, the least we could do for the orphaned children and victims’ families while living in here is to help provide immediate relief efforts and financial assistance particularly during these critical hours of need.

Special Initiative for Post-Secondary Education

In the year 2013, HOPE decided to select ten students annually for enrollment in a “Diploma of Associate Engineers”. The goal is to equip them with technical skills and knowledge that could help become self-sustained. Majority of the students were from rural and remote areas such as Baluchistan. Due to some inevitable family issues, two students could not continue with their studies beyond first year. Another student immigrated to Australia. The remaining seven students appeared in the final year exam and all passed with flying colors. A marvelous success was achieved by the young, energetic Ali Khan who got first class first position in two consecutive years (first year and then second year) in the examinations held under Punjab Board of Technical Education Lahore (PBTE). As an appreciation, Ali also received a brand new motor bike from his school i.e. Pak Polytechnic Institute, Lahore. He will now take admission in BSCS (Bachelor in Computer Science) in Quaid-e-Azam University, Islamabad on a scholarship fully sponsored by H.O.P.E. All students and their families sincerely thank all the sponsors and donors of H.O.P.E. Foundation Canada fir their consistent and generous support throughout their education.

H.O.P.E. Receives Acknowledgment from Red Cross

In May 2016, Fort McMurray, Alta. was devastated by raging wildfires that wiped out entire neighborhoods and left up to hundreds of thousands of people displaced. The devastating impact of the catastrophe was far beyond anything witnessed before; the effects will be felt for years to come. The tragic loss of homes and livelihoods was simply beyond apprehension as the Alberta government has declared a state of emergency.

H.O.P.E. Foundation Canada stood with the fellow Canadians in these difficult times of disaster and crises with a sincere goal of providing generous and prompt support. Federal government had announced to match donations made to Canadian Red Cross donations for Fort McMurray disaster relief. Accordingly, all funds raised were donated to the Canadian Red Cross so that every dollar H.O.P.E. Foundation received today became eligible for matching, and thus doubles in dollar amount. For this exemplary support that is above and beyond any race, color, caste or creed, anofficial letter of appreciation was awarded to H.O.P.E. from the Canadian Red Cross.
